I cannot imagine anyone wanting to spend one millisecond in hell...Christ was all about forgiveness, yea, even for the stupid. Only one sin is mentioned unforgivable: blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (denial of God existence, or atheism)
blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (denial of God existence, atheism; or attribution of a miracle to Satanic intervention)
Christ was all about forgiveness, yea, even for the stupid.
Absolutely! He made it all so simple. Because some either "cannot accept' such unconditional love or 'don't understand', they reject His Word. The audicity in trying to 'understand' The Almighty. We accept it on faith. His Ways are not our Ways. And then He shows us 'personally' that His way was better.
It's about a personal relationship with Our Heavenly Father and not about 'religion'. He is a jealous God, HE wants fellowship with us and that is how we get to know HIM - reading HIS WORD and that still small voice of The Holy Spirt! And all because of Our Savior, Jesus' Blood!!
Aren't the Epicopalians edging rather close to that borderline with denying that Jesus is the Only way for salvation? Denying the Holy Spirit would seem to be the next step.
